The isentropic turbine efficiency is 87 and the condenser


In one type of nuclear power plant, heat is transferred in the nuclear reactor to liquid sodium. The liquid sodium is then pumped through a heat exchanger where heat is transferred to boiling water. Saturated vapor steam at 700 lbf/in.2 exits this heat exchanger and is then superheated to 1100 F in an external gas-fired super heater. The steam enters the turbine, which has one (open-type) feedwater extraction at 60 lbf/in 2. The isentropic turbine efficiency is 87%, and the condenser pressure is 1 lbf/in.2. Determine the heat transfer in the reactor and in the super heater to produce a net power output of 1000 Btu/s.
